[Dreiko]

That voice is in...when you use the japanese language versions.

[xxnike629xx]

That voice is in...when you use the japanese language versions.

...which is what I'll be doing.

In any USA released game that I buy that has such option, I always turn it on.

[ss6veku]

yer i do

[dnewhomeboy45]

really...so if i play with american voices...I cant hear the voice...wow...that sucks

[Dreiko]

really...so if i play with american voices...I cant hear the voice...wow...that sucks

Yes but...even if you could hear it...it would still be in english, same for all other voices...and that alone is an ordeal of it's own.

[dbz_hunter 001]

I would prefer a good DBZ game instead of a game that has nothing to offer but the original DBZ voices.

My answer would be no. The makers of the games aren't that bad, as far as the dubbed DBZ games are. If they spent money on that, then how would they make the game?

[-Saiyan Universe-]

Am i the only one who enjoys the funimation voices?, hmmm probably because i grew up with them. I don't mind the Japanese voices, but i still prefer the American ones.

No, I like them in DBZ too. :up:

Not sure who did the YYH and Inuyasha dubs, but I love them both.

[macdaddymario]

i enjoy them more aswell saiyan, i do however have full respect for the original work that the japanese voice actors have done

[Big_Man85]

YEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! This is what I want them to focus on. Do you see how story was made? These are TWO Perfect examples!!!! It was not Too Broad or Narrow!!!

They sound like the ****ty cartoons i grew up watching in the 80s where you knew damn well the Cavalier wouldnt learn to stop being a ***** and they would never make it back to Earth

Vegetas voice is BADASSS....I careless what anybody says....and SS3 and SS4 gokus voice is bad ass...the japanese voices sound like little girls masturbating...if you listen to the Japanese voices....YOU ARE A WEIRDO...you cant even understand them with those annoying high pitched voices

[Dreiko]

Yes cause by god, nobody speaks japanese, they just use it in anime to flush out the weirdos. Everybody knows people in japan speak chinese!

If only you understood how truly epic vegeta's proud lines were in japanese, with such arrogance not existing in the english language, you'd truly know that it's not "how" you sound that make your speech important, it's what you say that truly matters.

You don't hear in history books people's worth being judged by the "weirdness" of their dialect, only by what they actually said in that dialect and i stipulate there's a good reason for that, try and discover it.

the voices arent weird theyre just annoying and high pitched....Goku sounds like a little girl...and other than the fact that theyre annoying I cant understand them...you can listen to em' if you want I guess...I like Friezas voice in Chinese though...cuz in english he sounds like a female

[gokusaiyan44]

funimation has the best dubs,of course there voices are better the japanese versions.

[Dreiko]

Nah, greek dubs were better...totally 100% uncensored :D.

[gokusaiyan44]

YYH was unsencensored in english:p

[Dreiko]

YYH was unsencensored in english:p

And this has what to do with anything?

[gokusaiyan44]

nothing really.

[GokouSon]

boo's voice in japanese rules. i mean majin boo.uhg u know(fat boo) lol

[TrollCapAmerica]

Goku sounds the way Akira Toriyama created him.Hes a simple minded guy that talks like a Japanese country bumpkin who was still making fart jokes as far as the Buu saga.He is not the GI Joe character the english dub made him spouting out lines that would have been cheesy in the 70s and basically stumbling through anything thats not a grunt.His Japanese VA which also happens to be a woman can also show actual emotion while the dub VA is used to doing crappy 1.95 budget dexter cartoons where nobody cares about the product quality

Vegeta sounds like gargamel but its what you heard first and they played it straight so you arent aware of how comical he sounds

You also mentioned Freiza sounds better in Chinese im assuming because you arent aware that Japan and China are different countries and are probably 14

TL DR-Your probably an underage dubbie with bad taste

YYH was unsencensored in english:p

Funny story they moved YuYu to the weekday line-up and it was right after Rurouni Kenshin.They play the Megumi storyline out and it has all its references to opium dealing intact.YuYu comes on right after in a later timeslot wth less censorship and its in Genkais tournament.Now i Forgot the name of the guy Yusuke fights in the dark but they cut out the ciggerette Yusuke uses to find him basically turning the entire fight into this illogical mess

Remember kids doing and dealing Opium is fine and dandy but diont even LOOK at ciggerettes

Naw im gonna be 17 on September 28 which is in 7 days...and im not that seriously involved in DBZ to be listening to the Japanese or Chinese or watever kind of voices(not that im to cool to listen to the voices...I just dont like them...but its weird how people from the U.S can listen to them..."REAL WEIRD")...I just really like the show though I havent seen it in like 8 months......but what is a dubbie

Dubbie reffers to a person that likes a certain dub(adaption in a certain area/country/region) of a show, I guess...What's wrong with this guy liking the dub? Have you people forgotten that some people just like the series on a CASUAL level, and that not every fan is a diehard one? He probaly just likes the series and can care less for whatever language it's in.

::Faceplam::

Japan and China arent the same country

Repeat NOT the same country.

There are alot of places which are not the same all over the world

You can find them on map or a round object that shows the world called a "Globe"

You cant walk there though its very far

People like them because the actors doing the voices have "talent" and they actually show emotion when doing the voices

They can understand them either by knowing the language or alternitively by reading the subtitles options

Every anime that comes out from Japan [Not China] has a subtitled and original voices option.Reason being that the filter of difficult translation where matching a different languages words to the mouth movements make "Dubbing" the script in English difficult and sometimes clunky.The other reason is the Voice Actors in the US tend to be terrible as the number of animated shows with serious storyline could be counted on one hand.No hands if you remove everything done by DC

Why do I get the feeling that you absolutely HATED your days as a kid/teen?

Nah im just well aware when things suck and dont have rose colored glasses

Here's where you have your big mistake, i'm Greek, not from USA, and i know Japanese so i understand anime.


Not all people currently residing in USA are ignorant American curs with your exact same interests, simple enough?

[dnewhomeboy45]

Dude I know ...Ive been through world geography...I just have no idea which country made DBZ whether its Japan or China ...but honestly I dont care enough to find out

Nope not everyone is like me youre right...but I am not ignorant...if you understand Japanese or whatever language DBZ is in I applaud you for it....but there is absolutely no need to insult me...so chillax

You lived in a bubble all your life or something?Not knowing that Anime is from Japan is like not knowing Superman wears a cape

Ergo you're ignorant.

Cut him a break. He sounds like he could care less about anime, what it is, where it originated, or anything like that.

He should act that way then, instead of insulting things he doesn't understand only to excuse his behavior due to his "lack of interest", once he got cornered of course. Cause god forbid one admits his own inadequacy, they universe would implode were that to take place.

Come on, anime is entertainment, we should'nt take it so seriously on this guy and start degrading him just because he does'nt understand/know some stuff..

[Dreiko]

Again, it's not his ignorance, it's his behavior fueled by his ignorance the reason because of which we degrade him. If you don't know anything about something and yet decree something better than that which you know nothing of, you do deserve a lynching.

Ok, but how about this alternative. Explaining to him your opinion about the Japanese voices in a non-hostile way...I'm sure if you explain everything to him without trying to punish him, he'll come to understand.

Already done this in other threads, didn't work.

[Kill All-Monkey]

Isn´t that odd to see? Video games never say the exact things that the anime version says.

Idk...I don´t care, but it woudn´t hurt ether. So yeah! Sure! t would be great! :D

[GokouSon]

yeah, a direct translation. no changes to the script what so ever.
that would be cool. thats what they did in akira almost word for word the japanese and american version was the same

OFF TOPIC- You spelled your name wrong...! lol

Nah, it's songokuu, the son doesn't go back and forth.

Everything else is a nickname. (so for example, piccolo calls him Son while many others just call him goku but most of his formal enemies do call him songokuu...basic japanese formality)

[TrollCapAmerica]

Cut him a break. He sounds like he could care less about anime, what it is, where it originated, or anything like that.

Its also such common knowledge that i dont buy the "i dunno lol" explanation.It sounds like a bad internet troll trying to get DBZ fans to jump up and done by saying the dumbest things he can about it

[Kamiccolo33]

They just need to focus on making it a dramatic and fast paced experience while being as faithful to the anime as possible. As for fighting, the game that got closest was and still is DBZ Legends IMO.

The voice acting has dropped a bit after B3. Hopefully this will have good voice acting.

Im no troll..... I respect The Dragonball Z show and all its fans...I just stated my opinion on the Japanese Voices...Apologies if I offended either Dreiko or TrollCap...but I Loved Dragonball Z since I was a youngsta...and even though my friends dog me about it...I defend DBZ with my heart...and I knew Japan made DBZ...You guys just had me confused saying stuff like They speak Chinese in China and Japan...or China and Japan arent the same country...so I said,what made me look like an idiot, IDC who made DBZ whether its Japan or China...but that was just sarcasm...Im not ignorant of the show I am a true fan...My last post on this subject....Much Respect to Dreiko and TrollCap and bakutenryu

[GokouSon]

yeah. for ya'lls information goku's name translated into romaji is GOKOU. and i have heard some people on the anime call him GOKU-SON. i think trunks does it a few times.

[Dreiko]

yeah. for ya'lls information goku's name translated into romaji is GOKOU. and i have heard some people on the anime call him GOKU-SON. i think trunks does it a few times.

It's Gokuu actually, and romanji is not a translation, it's just japanese written with roman letters. And trunks calls him goku-san, san being the name honorific used for people above you and not son, the part of his name.

[GokouSon]

yes i know that, and yeah my bad i didint mean translated, and your right. but i have seen his name spelled goku, gokuh,(i think) gokuu, and gokou. but i really have heard a few people say goku-son

[GokouSon]

yeah and i know about the san stuff.
chan is for girls
kun is your guys
and san is for that honorific stuff

[Dreiko]

yeah and i know about the san stuff.
chan is for girls
kun is your guys
and san is for that honorific stuff

No, chan is for young children, when it's used for girls it's meant to suppose they look pretty and young as if they were children, it's a form of flattery. Kun is for people of lower to yours position, so a senior would call a freshman kun while the freshman would call the senior san, both regardless of gender.

San is how you talk to people you don't know or people you know have a higher and/or equal standing than yours.

Here comes the tricky part, sometimes people of equal standing will talk to each other using san, kun or even without any honorific...those are delicate social boundaries and you need to know when to say which honorific. For example (this is in my japanese class where everyone except me is from japan), i call my friends kun but my classmates which i'm not close to i call san even though we're equal as far as position goes, it's still the polite thing to do, when i speak to my GF and other people are around i use san there too as a sign of respect while when we're alone i don't use anything, as a sign of closeness. The Jp language is so amazing..it can entail more details about emotion than most other languages.
yes i know that, and yeah my bad i didint mean translated, and your right. but i have seen his name spelled goku, gokuh,(i think) gokuu, and gokou. but i really have heard a few people say goku-son

I sure have not, it's been over 6 years since i watched the whole of dbz in japanese though, mind posting a link to a part of it where you heard what you claim to have heard?

And no matter what you have seen or not, the name is songokuu, that and than only.

[holy_jumbo]

Is Songoku just a word? I though it was Son Goku since in GT tv special Pan and Goku's Jr. mail box has "SON" written on it.

[Dreiko]

Is Songoku just a word? I though it was Son Goku since in GT tv special Pan and Goku's Jr. mail box has "SON" written on it.

There are many ways of saying it, turning it into a nickname, pun and other things.

It consists of 3 kanji, son-go-kuu, each one can be it's own word with it's own different pronounciation, or all three combined make the name.

Songoten songohan and songoku all use the same kanji for son, they're the "son family", thus the name in the mail box is son.
